I have officially fallen in love with your youtube channel!! I have been self teaching myself using videos and online tutorials for a little over a year now, and yours is by far the best I've found.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I had a client call for a last minute wedding cake request. I had 3 days! She wanted a tree stump with deer as the topper. The cake turned out beautifully thanks to this video! I wish I could post a photo.
You're so polite in your videos! I'm going to attempt a stump cake with a chocolate sour cream frosting (50/50) for the bark, mottling the color by abstaining from thoroughly mixing it and lightening the sides by applying water. Fondant just isn't my favorite thing. Still not positive what'll happen for the top frosting, but we'll find out.
I love your tutorials! They have helped me so much while starting my own cake business. My daughter's and I love watching them and are amazed at your talent. You've helped build my confidence. I appreciate the time you take each week to show us the things you have learned. You're awesome!
Hi Zoe...thank you so much for sharing this tutorial I am going to make an owl sitting on a tree trunk like this for my friend in February...this has helped me out so much...well done and thank you again for sharing... Sharon :-)
Fantastic tute, thanks. Wasn't sure I'd be able to find something this good when I searched - a great effect with basic tools! Just what I was after. Thanks again :)
Hi Zoe. do you a recipe available or video on fondant used for this stump application and modeling cake toppers. there are so many recipes out there and would love a tried and tested recipe. yours seems very easy to use.
Thanks so much for watching my tree bark cake tutorial, Yes I do actually have a tutorial for 2 owls on my channel, one of which is the same process as the fondant owl shown in this video :) here is a link, enjoy! :) - th-cam.com/video/eftiE5p6dD0/w-d-xo.html
Just to say thank you for your easy to follow tutorials this one in particular was a big help to me , the cake I made I put on my fb cake page and wrote that it was your tutorials that helped me! I did tag you in the photo but I'm not sure if you would see it or not , but thanks again Zoe best wishes Bev Murray x
Zoe you're really talented, never seen a tutorial like this. Also very good for the video of the wooden floor boards, just gorgeous. And speaking of what I wanted to ask, you could make a similar one with zebra stripes. I would like to learn how to make a cover zebra white \ black to put on a cake, and I do not know how to do, so I refer to that video, because I do not know whether to use the same technique as that, it would be correct or not. I hope you will, thank you.

what color did you use to get the original color of the bark before you "painted" the dark brown?
I cant remember which brown it was, but I kept it really pale. It might have been dark brown sugarfalir colour with a tad of ivory.
Did you use 50/50 on the cake? Thanks
Muito perfeito!!! 😍😍
hi do you have a tutorial for the buffalo you made ive got to make 1 and yours is the best iv have seen
How do you get it to not be tacky. Seems to stay sticky
Great! Hugs from BRAZIL.
Why do you use water instead of lemon extract to paint the bark brown?
I just find it works ok for me with water so I may as well use water as I don't have to buy lemon juice then :)
Wish there was a double like button ,,,,,this is awesome !!! 2nd post ..lol..
Susan Kang Thanks for all your support! :)

Check woodprix mates. I love it to my wooden projects.
Make it yourself thanks to WoodPriX page. I think it's the best way to learn how to build it in the cheapest way.
I bought instruction from woodprix and I build it very very cheap.
Love your project. I made similar with WoodPrix instructions.
